2 days Trip to Lake Nakuru and Naivasha National Park
Best Organized 2days Trip to Lake Nakuru and Naivasha National Parks. I decided within a short time to make a trip to Lake Nakuru to show my 17yrs son the beauty of Kenya. But I wasn’t sure how should it be, we were staying in Mombasa so I decided to contact Adventure 360 and Charity the best and friendly Tour Operator in Nairobi Kenya i can say by now. She tailored a nice 2 days trip with 2 options According to my budget. We took SGR night train to Nairobi we arrived at 4 am in the morning in Nairobi. Normally they start pick up at 6 in the morning but Charity organized a pick up 4:45 and the driver was there in time. Our driver a very experienced and friendly driver took us in a Cruiser Jeep to Lake Nakuru only two of us we enjoyed the Park ride with no rush had a lots of fun. End of day 1 went to our Hotel a nice hotel had Dinner and got rest. Day 2 started at 9am pick up towards Lake Naivasha to Hells gate where we had a circle Tour OL NJOROWA GORGE then a Guided walk in the Breathtaking nature of Longonot. Afternoon went to have lunch in a lake view also did a boat ride to see 🦛. I as a born Kenyan leaving in Germany I know many Tour Operators. But for sure this was our best organized Trip and we a looking forward to make Amboseli Maasai mara in the nxt Kenya Holiday. I Ii recommend Adventure 360 to any one intending to have a good professional organized Safaris and Tour.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for trusting us to deliver on your travels and experiences. We for sure look forward to welcoming you again to the motherland MagicalKenya.

Amazing and memorable experience!
Thank you Charity and George! What an amazing experience! We had the opportunity to go touring with Adventure 360 and it couldn't have been better. When I was looking for tour operators for my trip to Kenya with my family, I found Adventure 360 as the best in the business. The warmth and kindness from Charity was great. She was so accommodating to what we as a family wanted to do. We spent 3 full days with Charity and George and we were totally blown away by how professional and kind they were. We went to Nairobi ntl park, elephant sanctuary and Giraffe center for our first day. Hiked mount longonot for our second and stayed at Sopa Lodge (totally worth every penny) and Hell's Gate and Naivasha lake on our last day. From start to finish, our whole experience was incredible. Truly recommend it! Please choose them as your operator when you go to Kenya. I for sure will.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for trusting us with your Kenya trip/safari. Glad your expectations were met and you had memorable experiences. We look forward to being of service to you, your family and friends again in the near future. Cheers to many more adventures.

Why this scores 60
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Hells Gate National Park Day Trip: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Nairobi.
How much does Hells Gate National Park Day Trip cost?
+
Prices start at $135 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Nairobi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Hells Gate National Park Day Trip take?
+
Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Nairobi is not rushed.
Is Hells Gate National Park Day Trip worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 12 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Nairobi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Hells Gate National Park Day Trip?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Hells Gate National Park Day Trip suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 3. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 6-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Hells Gate National Park Day Trip?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Nairobi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Nairobi and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Hells Gate National Park Day Trip start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Nairobi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Nairobi?
+
On Outty we rank every Nairobi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include 3 days group joining safari to Maasai Mara with a Land Cruiser Jeep, 1 Day trip to Hells Gate and optional Lake Naivasha From Nairobi, Nairobi Masai village Day Tour Experience. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Nairobi?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Nairobi?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
